"Despite treatment dating back to Biblical times, there
still seems to be a great deal of ignorance about the healing benefits
of colon therapy" Dr. J.E.G. Waddington.

Colon therapy is a very ancient method of treatment and form of healing. Enemas
were recorded as early as 1,500 B.C. in the "Eber Papyrus", and
ancient Egyptian medical document, but the Chinese used it long before
then. So did Ayurvedic medicine from India, where techniques such as panchkarma
included colon cleansing as part of their routine .Hippocrates, Galen and
Pare also promoted the use of enema therapy. In these earlier times, people
implemented enema treatments in a lake or river using a hollow reed to
allow water to flow into the rectum.

At an early time in America ...enemas were a commonly used
procedure to help maintain health and stave off disease. For example,
before the departure of the Lewis and Clarke expedition, a physician
instructed them in the appropriateness of using enemas in cases of
fever and illness.
Our grandparents and great-grandparents grew up with the use of enemas as a
widely accepted procedure for reversing the onset of illness.

In the early 1900's in Battle Creek, Michigan.. John Harvey
Kellogg, M.D., extensively used colon hydrotherapy on some forty
thousand of his patients. In 1917 he reported in the Journal of the
Medical Association that in all but 20 cases--he used no surgery
for the treatment of gastrointestinal disease in his patients.

"In times past, knowledge of the bowel was more widespread
and people were taught how to care for the bowel. Somehow, bowel
wisdom got lost and it became something that no one wanted to talk
about anymore" Bernard Jensen D.C.

The popularity of colon hydrotherapy reached its apex in the
1920's, 30's and 40's. At that time, colonic irrigation was regularly
used in Doctors surgeries and hospitals. But in the ensuing 50 and
60 years the public's use of, and access to , this valuable health
treatment greatly decreased. The public's present lack of knowledge
regarding this, and other personal health care treatments, together
with the widely held belief by orthodox medicine that such treatments
are no longer useful may be the single most important factor in the
current ill-health of our population.

Proper bowel management and health will never be achieved
through the use of drugs and / or surgery. The answer lies in a time-proven
and natural approach.. ..Colon Hydrotherapy !

In the last 10 years there has been a resurgence of interest
in complimentary medicine and personal health care responsibility.
Once again people are discovering the many health benefits of maintaining
a strong and biologically sound colon. This return to using colon
hydrotherapy has been bolstered by the development of colon hydrotherapy
techniques, which make this therapy both safe and convenient. It
is hoped the grass roots movement towards personal health responsibility,
using complimentary health therapies to restore and maintain superior
health, will be joined by traditional health care practitioners.
